Our guild denied anyone without an authenticator access. Fixed that.

Well people with authenticators are still being compromised. You have my sympathies, I've been there after all. But your guild should probably restrict access to its guild to top level and/or trusted members for awhile and then eventually reexpand it over time.
And give the benefit of the doubt. Remember I got my keylogger from a google ad. On FFXIAH dot com.

I got "hacked" from our guilds website. It was kind of surprising. You know cause I have a Mac and all. But the guilds website displays my email address and when Blizzard swapped to Battle.net and we logged in with our email addresses, it was like the next day my account was taken. Make sure everyone on the guild website uses different passwords than their wow accounts.
The Battle.net merger got a ton of our guildies that way.

I'm always willing to give people a benefit of the doubt when it comes to this. But 5 times in one year? Thats pretty bad. The last time this happened it was a Mage in our guild who deactivated his account cause he was short on money and thus couldn't play. Two months after he quit we see him logged on and stealing our stuff. We were starting to think that the the hacker had payed for his reactivation just so he could steal our stuff. But it turned out to not be the case. The real person had reactivated his own account the night before, played for a bit, then logged off. And ultimatly had his account hacked the next day. XD
I saw a video of a guy who said he has his password in a text document and everytime he logs in he cuts and pastes it. I have been doing that. If I ever do get a keylogger all they will get from me is a Ctrl-V which is useless to them.
@kik's comment - Wow, seriously? The switch to battle.net was supposed to be for security reasons and it ended up failing. Guess they didn't think it through well enough or something. XD

Yup. There is no other way I could have been compromised since I never logged onto anything WoW related other than on my computer. And I don't use Windows, and to date there is no Mac Key loggers. And as soon as the merge happened we had a wave of accounts taken. I mean its partially my fault for keeping my wow password the same as my guild sits and my email. THough I must admit logging into my email and seeing it in chinese was a fun surprise.

Damn, just bad luck for your guild, Norfy. I should be taking better precautions with my stuff. Think I'll do a scan now, and do the ctrl+v method for putting in a new password. Been slowly inching forward to get Heirlooms. I'm up to 30 seals now. Did Pit of Saron today, and last night. I don't think I like that instance too much. Forge of Souls was fun though, simply due to the James Brown boss. Got 2 epic iLv 219 daggers, and an epic gun. Rest of my stuff sucks though. I gotta try to get up early and get groups, I noticed that it seems to be so much easier to get a group in the morning. Still on the fence about what I'm gonna do next. It's looking like Death Knight now, because I need Ore for Tai's new professions. She's gonna go Engineering & Jewelcrafting. Both have tons of stuff I want. People seem to believe it's a solid profession choice for Rogue too. Also still playing with specs... I like being a Mutilate Rogue, but I'm starting to get the feeling I need a Combat spec for AoE Damage. Bleh. I want triple spec!

This is pretty funny. You encounter atleast one of these per PuG group.

He forgot the "trash other players" guy, and the "leave suddenly because the gear you wanted didn't drop" guy.

I got the basic plate heirloom for my death knight, so I'm playing her a lot now. Tairotha has taken up Engineering and Jewelcrafting, so I need tons of ore products to skill up. The Death Knight mines her ass off, and has taken up Skinning as well.
Did Heroics recently too... hate that I'm so far behind the others I group with, gear wise... but what can I do? I wanna spend my seals on heirloom. I'm gonna start doing PvP very soon to get PvP gear. I joined a PvP minded guild as well. Nice folks. The other guild didn't work out... tried it out for a week, but got sick of being the only one online out of 90+ members.
Made a Horde paladin too, but she's on the back burner for now, while I get Tairotha's professions up. Also planning a horde warlock as well.

My guild is one boss away from fighting the Lich King. The current boss, Sindragosa, is what we are currently fighting. Its that giant skeletel Dragon you see in the opening cinematic. I'll post screens when I take some this coming week. Its a fun fight. We can do phase 1 pretty much flawlessly but phase 2 kinda kicks our ass. The mechanics of the fight change so much from phase 1 to 2 that its like getting used to a new battle altogether. I think thats whats killing us.
